Our Mission

Tech Kids Unlimited (TKU) is a NYC-based not-for-profit organization that teaches computer science thinking and technology to kids who learn differently. Our mission is to open up the field of technology to students with disabilities, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to help them become the techies of tomorrow. By creating, developing and sharing the tools of technology in a supportive and nurturing individualized environment, we are working to change the paradigm for education and employment for young people with disabilities. Our unique program model includes a 3:1 student to teacher ratio along with a social worker and occupational therapist in the classroom.

Tech Kids Unlimited’s goals include: to improve access to informal education programming for students with ASD; to increase students' knowledge of technology skills for future employment opportunities; to increase students' social interaction with peers as kids who love technology often have a lot in common and enjoy sharing their affinities; to increase students' social skills with peers through collaborating on tech projects and to increase students' daily living skills.
